 In rural areas, for effective water management on a watershed basis,

surface water tanks/ ponds are used. These tanks are used to collect and
store water during rainy season and the stored water is used for various
purposes such as irrigation/ domestic needs.
 The tanks to a capacity of 50,000 liters are commonly used in many
water stress areas in Maharashtra such as Karjat, Ahmednagar, Raigad,
Thane etc. To construct such tanks by using conventional techniques of
reinforced cement concrete (RCC)/ masonry, the cost may be to the
range of Rs. 10/ liter. Recently, the NGO “Jalvardhini” has come with a
novel technique of water tank construction using natural fibers such as
coconut, banana and Flax.
Technology for
construction of  In an RCC tanks, while steel is used as reinforcement, in natural fibers-
surface water based tanks, the fibers are used as a substitute of steel to cope with
1. storage tank using tensile stress. IIT Bombay evaluated the technology in association with
locally available Jalvardhini and it was found to be very effective. The fiber-based tanks
fibers for watershed have been constructed in lab and fields and used for last 5-6 years at
management many locations and found to be effective.

operation.
Salient features :
• User friendly - The machine is easy to operate
• Simple design

  The crop residue burning issues and its hazards are widely covered
in research journals, print media, broadcast and online. To validate
this problem team RuTAG had several interactions with NGOs and
farmers. The field survey was conducted in district Amravati,
Maharashtra. The objective of the survey was to understand the
ground level condition of availability of agro residue.
 It was found that Pelletizers are available in the market for various
biomass feedstock, but not for the scale of 30 to 50 kg/h. (needed
for small land holding farmers) Various process parameters like
pressure, temperature, particle size reduction, binding strength and
choice of binder materials are critical for effective pelletization,
which is intended to develop in the present proposal. Further, these
pellets may be used for community cooking application in the
Bio- mass based vicinity of pellet making units.
3. Pellet making  This project shows immense potential, considering the
machine environmental factor, increment in farm income through selling of
agro residue, additional fuel generation and livelihood generation
at farms. The pellets will reduce deforestation and import bill on
LPG.

4. Sustainable water  Intermittent Water Supply (IWS) is prevalent in most developing

supply system with countries. Specifically, in India, IWS is existent throughout the country.
the hydraulic Conventional water supply techniques and pressure management
insulating structure technologies are designed for continuous water supply; hence, they are
not suitable in the Indian context. We have developed a shaft-based
technology, which is better suited for intermittent water supply.
 The shaft-based technology can be customized based on local
requirements and can be fabricated locally near the site location. A
successful implementation and performance evaluation of the shaft in
different geographies will improve the visibility of technology and
enhance its reliability in solving the current water supply problems.
 The results and experience will be disseminated at state and national
levels. Additionally, the project will be executed in collaboration with
public health engineering departments, which provide us the
opportunity of easy integration with national programs such as Jal
Jeevan Mission.
Salient features
• Provision of drinking and irrigation water to rural communities with
sustainable approach
• Improve water supply pressure at consumer end by limiting over
withdrawal
• Enable better zoning of service area for management

chance of bacterial infections and also increases the loss of many vital
minerals and nutrients from water. Depending on the capacity of the

biomass that is fed into the firebox manually or feeder that is not
suitable for small scale firing. This leads to non-uniform firing or
over firing. Over firing leads to high temperatures (more than 1000
°C) that damages the kiln soon. • A biomass feeder will be designed
to feed air and fuel in appropriate ratio into the firebox to suit small
scale firing. • The intervention will reduce fuel consumption, time
and breakage thereby reduce production cost and increase profit
